    Is that the low fuel light, water-in-fuel light, or something else?

    I don't think I have ever had a truck with a good fuel gauge, I do not even pay attention to them anymore, just base my fuel off my mileage.

    if it is the little yellow light in the gauge, your DPF/DEF system is about to derate you. If it is the 4 little green squares, that is your DEF level gauge.

    found out after RA and shop could not tell me. I looked in manual and its a clogged fuel filter. So since I'm lease I just did a PM 2 weeks ago had to pay 140 to have all fuel filters replaced

    Some companies have the fuel filters on a different schedule than the oil& filter on DD 15s, so if you weren't paying attention, they might not have been replaced with the PM. Or maybe you just got some bad fuel.

    That won't be the last time. I do a chassis lube and fuel filter change at 25,000 miles- between PMs.
